      Not gonna disagree with you, I just played all of it and it gave me goosebumps. I’ve had a soft spot for the Flower of Scotland ever since a Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham many years ago. Hearing tens of thousands of Scots belting it out was truly awe-inspiring as it reverberated around the stadium, it brings tears to my eyes remembering that special day, with supporters from both teams all mixed together, laughing, joking, taking the piss out of each other and singing during the match and later in the bars beneath the stadium.
      Both are so much better than our dreadful dirge, God Save the King.🥱

We sat in front of an entire row of French fans and we got and gave banter all the way through. At the final whistle, they all shook our hands and one of them even gave my son his French hat. They were all gracious outside the ground too.

    Amazing, just amazing. Football is always my first love but this is why Rugby Union is a sport I've grown to love. Had this been an away supporter in the home end for an England football International, there'd have been a riot. But in Rugby there is just so much respect all round!
    Oh and great voice as well - I presume being able to sing is a requisite to Welsh nationality as I've never met a Welsh person who can't sing 😁

      Indeed. If you looked at every country of the world, England is truly outstanding. It built an empire (the largest empire the world will ever see), it has made discoveries and inventions that have been astounding, it has given the world jurisprudence, systems of government, the internet, computers, railways, the majority of sports, and the English language (now universal). It really is out there on its own out of every nation on Earth. Even today, despite our tiny size, we are 5/6th in economic terms, one of the G7, a nuclear power, and a huge force in economics, politics, and science.
      Some people rightfully point to our empire as a negative note in our history, but we left countries better than they were when we got there, and left them systems of governance and law.
